Event Description
San Francisco's Japanese Tea Garden is a true gem. Learn about the important culture, history, politics and plants of this public garden. Stroll through the oldest public Japanese-style garden in the nation as you learn the unique symbolism and history of the Garden. After leaving the Japanese Tea Garden, the group will walk up to Stow Lake, and explore the city's second highest sand dune, known as "the island," even before it was surrounded by water. See a waterfall funded by a railroad tycoon and a nesting tree for California's largest water bird. We'll cross the Roman Bridge and hike up the Carriage Path to the top of Strawberry Hill, the site of the Sweeny Observatory and then descend down Hunnington Falls to the Taipei Pavillion.
This tour is led by San Francisco Parks Trust's Parks Guides, and is open to the public. Admission to the Tea Garden is required for the tour, but admission is free to SFPT Members- just show your membership card.
